Hi folks,
When testing a csentry program in windows the numeric variables appear with tick marks, which is good for the end user to know how many digits are in the field.
Is there a way to show the tick marks in android?

No, there is not. The tickmarks were traditionally used to coordinate during a key-from-paper operation, so we never thought about adding them to the touch-friendly environment.

Unfortunately, that does lead to a result where interviewers do not know the size of the field / how many decimal digits are acceptable.

2 bad.
Next version?

Probably not, as you're the only person to ever request this.

One thing that you can do is make the field a combo box, which will then allow the user to click on a box and see the possible ranges (as defined by the value set). That's definitely not the same, but it allows you to give the interviewers some idea of what values are acceptable.
